New Taste of the Upper West Side in New York City presents Vegetables at Dovetail. And this new taste isn’t just vegetarian, there’s a vegan option as well! This new and elegant addition to the 5th annual festival is an inspired five-course veggie tasting dinner prepared by an all-star group of chefs. Note: You’ll need to specify the vegan vs. vegetarian option at registration.
